There is no such command or suggestion in the New Testament that Christians are to eat fish to remember the crucifixion of Jesus.
What are you talking about?! Everyone knows its a command from the book of Peacecrusader chapter 8 verse 88! Geez, I thought you were a bible expert! Eat thy fish!!!
My mother is allergic to fish. I guess she is going to hell because she can't eat it on Good Friday.
Seriously, this is a new one. Does the OP own a fish market or something? LOL.
LOL, that might explain it. OTOH, since even for those who observe fast and/or abstinence on Good Friday eating fish is NOT mandatory just not eating meat so any "vegan" or "vegetarian" type menu would do fine and your Mom would be "off the hook" on that score. for that matter (at least as far as Catholics are likely most all other Churches are concerned), ALL such observances can be dispensed with if because of the person's age or health condition they might be harmed by such practices.
Doesn't having a relationship with Jesus help one to "remember" even more? A relationship is like BAM right there in your face and there is no remembering, there is only LIVING...
On the other hand, ceremonies or observations can be good expressions of what is known and felt. We get from them what we bring to them.

in the peace of Christ.
My mother is 88 years old, a devout (Protestant) Christian all her life, and drives herself to kidney dialysis three times a week. She has to eat a certain amount of animal protein due to her failed kidney function. They don't observe the Friday dietary restrictions in her church anyway.

I don't eat meat at all, so I'll make up for her!
LOL, so NO problems for her then on ANY score, then. may God bless and keep her and you as well.

Thank you! I am very fortunate to still have her, and that her mind is still sharp. I will be at her house for Easter.
